Defoe's decision to not mention the merchant's name in "Robinson Crusoe" contributes to the novel's realism. By omitting specific details, he allows readers to focus on the general themes of survival, isolation, and redemption. This universalizes the story and enables readers to connect with the character on a more personal level.
